A Maori woman named Jenkins recently died in the Wanganui district, aged 110. The old lady, says a weekly contemporary, remembered the visit of Captain Cook to these shores, and often gave a vivid description of his advent, and of the profound impression his ship made upon the native mind. The Maoris had never seen a ship before, and took it tor a huge bird, supposing the sails to be Cook’s visit was in 1796, from which an idea of the longevity of Mrs. Jenkins may be gathered.
